Florentine Mannerist painter
Adopted son of Pontormo.
As his pupil Bronzino emulated the works of Pontormo but never quite achieved the emotional strengths evident in Pontormo's works.
Bronzino's is renowned for his skill and display of the nude, but his main successes lay in the field of Portraiture in which he excelled, being appointed Court Painter to Duke Cosimo I de Medici for a large part of his career and influencing the course of European Court Portraiture fo the next 100 years.
Bronzino was one of the Founding Members of the Accademia del Disegno in 1563.
